Meroune lowered herself to Kimihito after she had changed her clothes as she then lightly slapped his cheek to get his attention.

Startled by the sudden feeling of a soft hand hitting on his cheek lightly Kimihito was finally awoken from his dazed state.

"Are you alright Dear Sir," Meroune asked as she still patted her hand on his cheek.

"Yeah I'm alright … wait why am I on the floor?" Kimihito he inquired from the pink-haired mermaid.

"Well you kind of fell on your face when you uhm." she replied sheepishly as she didn't finish the sentence.

"When I what?" Kimihito asked with a tone of curiosity.

He started regaining his balance standing up and held his hand on his forehead as he tried to remember what happened earlier.

Then it hit him, the pink-haired mermaid's current state of dress earlier was what had caused him to fall.

"When you saw me changing," Meroune replied embarrassingly as her face was flush red.

"Oh yeah" Kimihito embarrassingly said as he then offered a hand towards the mermaid gesturing that he would help her sit on the wheelchair.

"By the way Dear Sir earlier Agent Smith came to visit, but left because she misread the situation." Meroune said as she remembered, while she accepted Kimihito's hand as she was assisted on sitting on the wheelchair.

"I guess we'll just have to explain it to her then" Kimihito replied.

"That woman won't listen to reason from what I've seen." She replied in an annoyed tone.

Kimihito sighed. "I guess we'll just wait till she comes back."

Meroune nodded in agreement.

/.../

"By the way Meroune there was something I wanted to ask" Kimihito started.

"What is it Dear Sir?" Meroune asked.

"Are you really fine with me being your liminal host as I am" Kimihito asked in a subtle tone.

"What are you talking about; I'm more than happy to have you as my host." She cheeringly replied.

"Ah, I see, thanks for having such faith in me." Kimihito said as his face turned to a light tinge of red.

/.../

"Dear Sir if it's not too much trouble may I see what it's like upstairs?" Meroune asked out of curiosity.

"Sure Meroune, but I'd guess I'd have to carry you since we'll have a problem bringing the wheelchair upstairs. He replied while fazed of the idea of him carrying Meroune bridal style up the stairs.

"Ah alright then, forget that I asked." She said as she felt that it would only cause trouble towards her host.

"No it's no trouble at all" he replied out of determination that he wouldn't let Meroune feel down, as he slowly held out his arms to support the weight of the delicate figure.

"All right then." Meroune replied as she sheepishly let the said man carry her bridal style.

"Alright just don't move much" He said as he tried to position a proper arm rest with his left arm for Meroune's tail as heat emitted from his body due to the close proximity.

"Ok then." Meroune replied as she shifted her tail to a move comfortable position, but suddenly shifted her position causing her face to quickly bury itself into Kimihito's chest, "Sorry should I readjust?" she continued.

"Ok just stay like that; it'll be easier for me to head up the stairs with your tail in that position." He said as he realized that the current position would make it easier trekking up the stairs, meanwhile his body was currently like a furnace from the hot breathe that Meroune breathed to his chest.

Meroune herself was also feeling like a furnace from the close proximity as well as the she could greatly smell the man's scent from breathing towards him at such a close distance.

"Alright we're up the stairs, I suppose I'll show you my room first since it's the least dusty one compared to the others I'm about to show you" he said as he moved towards the direction of the said room, while his body was getting hotter each second the mermaid was in his arms.

"Alright Dear Sir" Meroune mumbled due to her position being sunk into his chest, as she had found herself feeling a dizzy from the situation.

"Ta'dah here's my room, alright then I'll just lay you down on the bed while I catch a breathe." He said as he laid down Meroune onto the mattress.

Much to their dismay or delight Kimihito's balance broke as soon as Meroune lost her positioning of her tail causing both of them to fall onto the bed.

"I'm sorry about that" Meroune said quickly as she felt her back fall onto the mattress, but only to notice that Kimihito was on top of her.

"No worries just an accident" Kimihito replied, while he began regaining his balance.

"So this is your room, I guess you're a clean freak" She teasingly mocked as she noticed that everything inside his room was all tidy and neat, aside from that she saw multiple posters of names namely 'Macaroon 5, Chillplay, Bruni Jupiter, and OneRepublican.

"What are those names of?" She asked as she pointed towards them.

"Haha, it's only this clean whenever I have company, and those are of my favourite artist and bands posters that I got a hold" he replied with a tone of confidence.

"Ah, I see." She said as her eyes trailed off to the others things she observes inside the room.

Many many many apologies for not paying attention to this fanfic sooner since I was greatly pre-occupied with personal matter, but nonetheless I hope you enjoyed this chapter and don't forget to post a review of criticism for me to take in open minded to improve my story-writing skills.

(Happy Holidays by the way!)
